Is there another medication you could try? I have some choices but I really don't want to change because it's supposedly one of the more power AP's and all AP's carry the risk of weight gain. I'm scared of gaining even more weight switching.

I found out there are "cheap" adult swimming lessons. So I'll try to do that when I get home. I'll ask for it for my birthday I know how to swim well but it gives me a starting point on healthy exercising.
